Networking Cable Flexline FL31-59080 15m Cat6a U/FTP Grey

The Flexline FL31-59080 15m Cat6a U/FTP Grey networking cable by ShiverPeaks is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission across home, office and data center environments. Compliant with Cat6a performance, the cable supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over its 15-meter length. U/FTP shielding around each pair minimises crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors with copper-plated contacts ensure consistent signal transfer and low contact resistance.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6a specification provides increased bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables. U/FTP (individually foiled pairs with overall unshielded jacket) construction reduces pair-to-pair crosstalk and external noise sources, improving stability for demanding network traffic. A 15 m length offers flexibility for longer runs without intermediate patch points, and the grey jacket delivers a neutral appearance that integrates with most installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and small data rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers and backups
• Structured cabling runs between switches, patch panels and workstations up to 15 m
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: U/FTP — individually foiled twisted pairs
• Length: 15 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with copper-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey jacket

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a router, switch or network card and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and prolonged compression; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve performance. For installations near strong electromagnetic sources, position the cable to minimise exposure or use additional shielding if required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for runs up to 15 m in temperature-controlled indoor environments. Avoid kinking or tight coils when storing the cable, and inspect connector contacts for debris before plugging in. Where permanent installations or plenum requirements apply, verify compatibility with local building codes and installation standards.
